Operators Receive Hands-On Equipment Drills And Classroom
Instruction
FACTS Training International announced today that they have
developed a new emergency procedures training course specifically
for Boeing Business Jet operators. Open to all crewmembers, owners
and frequent flyers; the FACTS BBJ three and a half day program for
initial, and two-day and a half day program for recurrent, combine
classroom instruction with extensive hands-on equipment drills to
provide an elite training experience for BBJ operators.
Crews will receive instruction on land and water evacuation
procedures including water ditching, inflight and ground
emergencies, inflight medical, smoke and live fire fighting,
turbulence, decompression, hypoxia awareness, crew coordination and
more, using BBJ specific safety and emergency equipment.
“I’ve been training BBJ operators for years,”
said Pattie Adams, Lead Trainer for the new BBJ program.
“These crews are not simply going to meet their training
requirements, they’re going to retain the knowledge and save
lives.”
Boeing Business Jet flight departments typically operate under
an FAR 125 certificate required for aircraft capable of carrying
nineteen passengers or more and that exceed a certain weight. These
aircraft are required to have extra equipment such as evacuation
slides and additional emergency exits and doors; and to fly with
crews who are trained to operate this aircraft-specific equipment.
The FACTS BBJ course incorporates actual BBJ doors, windows and
slides into simulated emergency scenarios and procedures training
so crews gain intimate knowledge of their operation, weight, and
performance.
The BBJ Crew Training will be part of regularly scheduled
classes at FACTS’ Long Beach, California facility (LGB); or
flight departments can enquire about custom training that fits
their schedule.
